Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, is a city where history, nature, and modern life meet effortlessly. First mentioned in 1323, it has grown into a lively European capital known for its beautiful UNESCO-listed Old Town, cozy cafés, and strong academic traditions. Winding streets, church towers, and hidden courtyards give the city a distinctive charm that is easy to explore on foot.
One of Vilnius’ greatest surprises is its closeness to nature. The city is crossed by the Neris and Vilnia rivers and surrounded by forests, with green parks and riverbanks never far away. This blend of urban life and natural landscapes makes Vilnius both vibrant and relaxing — an ideal setting for a scientific meeting.
